_ _ _ There's some French words in this song and it's confused a lot of people and
I wrote this song for my wife because she's from Quebec
So it says our Quebec girl go with me my my bell my fleur-de-lis
And that just basically means you pretty little thing you you little flower
Takes that confuses anybody
_ [D#m] _ [E] _ [F#] _
_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ [B] _ There's a lost river that flows [E] in a valley where no [B] one goes
where the [F#] white [E] water
[B] Rumbled deep in the hush
Though I'm far from there now
Lord, [E] I'll get [B] back somehow
To where the lost river [E] winds
through [E] the shadow of the [B] pines
_ Whoa
Lost river [E] now I'm coming [B] back
Through [F#] the pot lily [E] stove [F#] where the [E] firewoods [B] all stack
Quebec girl go with me _

_ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ Everybody knows where [E] that lost river [B] flows
[F#] It's some places [E] lost
[F#] Behind [E] bridges that [B] he's crossed
Will he like to return?
But [E] the bridges are [B] over and [F#] he's much too [E] far down [F#] to return
[E] to [B] higher ground _ Oh
Lost river
[E] Now [B] I'm coming back
[F#] Through the pot lily [E] stove
[F#] Where the [E] firewoods [B] all stack

[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ Whoa Lost river
[E] Far over [B] the ridge
[F#] Now is it [E] too late
For [F#m] me to build [E] me a [B] new bridge
To the bright golden time
When [E] her love was still [B] mine
[F#] And the world was [E] still wild
[F#] Like a dream
Like the [E] heart of [B] a _ child
Whoa Back

To the [F#] pot [E] lily stove
[B] Where the [E] [B] firewoods all stack
Quebec girl go with me
[E] I'm a bell of [B] fleur-de-lis
[F#] Where the lost [E] river wind
[F#] In the [E] shadow [B] of the pines
[F#] Where the lost [E] river wind
[Bm] In the shadow of the pines
Where [E] the [F#] lost river [B] wind
In the shadow of the _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ pines _
